V. organi- siert wird, findet am 7. Oktober 2019 auf der Anuga statt. Hier werden die wichtigsten Food Trends gemeinsam mit Experten und vielen Vertretern aus For- schung, Industrie und Handel un- ter die Lupe genommen.

Die globale Lebensmittelproduktion ist im stetigen Wandel: Technologische Entwicklungen und sozioökono- mische Veränderungen prägen und verändern das wirtschaftli- che Handeln ständig. Sogenannte Megatrends setzen neue Maß- stäbe für die Lebensmittelindus- trie. Insbesondere bei Waren des täglichen Bedarfs ergibt sich aus der Digitalisierung, neuen Pro- duktionskonzepten, veränder- ten Bedürfnissen der Verbrau- cher und aktuellen Konzepten der Nachhaltigkeit eine große Chancenvielfalt. Ob Herstellung, Distribution und Vermarktung – die Bereitschaft Veränderungen schnell zu erkennen und sich an neue Entwicklungen anzupassen ist dabei notwendig für den un- ternehmerischen Erfolg. Diese und folgenden Themen stehen im Mittelpunkt der diesjährigen iFood Conference: Nachhaltigkeit – Konzepte für Nachhaltigkeit bei Lebensmitteln, Digitalisierung – Blockchain und Künstliche Intelli- genz, Innovationen – Steigerung des Wissenstransfers, New Foods – Entwicklungen des globalen Le- bensmittelsystems Die Ernäh- rungsgewohnheiten sind einem ständigen Wandel unterlegen. Können flexiblere Produktions- plattformen die Wettbewerbsfä- higkeit verbessern? Ist eine De- zentralisierung der Produktion der Schlüssel dem Wunsch des Verbrauchers nach stärkerer In- dividualisierung der Produkte zu entsprechen? Namhafte Akteure und Experten werden hierzu auf der Conference Stellung nehmen. Digitalisierung und Blockchain sind Themen auf der Konferenz. Foto: Hitesh Choudhary / Unsplash Anzeige GLOBALG.A.P. Partners with Sustainable Rice Platform – Launch at ANUGA 2019 Verified Sustainable Rice Available in Supermarkets Soon GLOBALG.A.P. is happy to an- nounce its partnership with the Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP). The launch will take place at 10:30 a.m. on 7 October at the BLVH- Retail Forum, Class Room, Center Boulevard. SRP was established in 2011 and is co-convened by the UN Environ- ment Programme (UN Environ- ment) and the International Rice Research Institute, working to- gether with over 100 institutional members from the private sector, civil society, as well as research and development communities to promote market transformation in the global rice trade. Together, the SRP Standard for Sustainable Rice Cultivation and the SRP Perfor- mance Indicators provide a widely accepted basis for sustainable pro- curement, while improving the lives of rice producers and mini- mizing the environmental footprint of rice production. Starting in 2020, GLOBALG.A.P. will manage the SRP Assurance Scheme, which allows SRP veri- fied rice farms to be registered in the GLOBALG.A.P. database where more than 200,000 produc- ers with GLOBALG.A.P. certifi- cation are already registered. The database provides an interface used by many global retailers to track the food safety and sustain- ability status of the primary pro- ducers from whom they source their products. These verified rice farms will be automatically assigned a unique identification number based on the GS1 system and will thus be synchronized with the numbering system used in the entire upstream food sup- ply chain. GLOBALG.A.P. has been support- ing SRP since 2017 to build a vi- able assessment and assurance pro- gram based on more than 12 years of experience in implementing the GLOBALG.A.P. integrity program across the world. Through this collaboration, rice farmers will have access to GLOBALG.A.P.’s network of over 160 independent certification bod- ies, as well as to new upcoming second party verification bodies, bringing cost-efficient assessments to rice farmers and farmer groups around the world. At the ANUGA GLOBALG.A.P. booth, SRP members OLAM, Herba Bangkok S.L (Ebro Foods S.A and Mars Food) will present rice from their respective SRP pro- grams. These programs will soon be SRP verified and available on supermarket shelves. Leon Mol, Director, Product Safe- ty & Social Compliance of Ahold- Delhaize, and Vice Chair of the GLOBALG.A.P. Board, said, “We are happy that the SRP Standard is now available to make an im- portant commodity like rice more sustainable. SRP’s partnership with an experienced organization such as GLOBALG.A.P. will ensure ef- ficiency of assessments and will contribute to the accessibility and credibility of the data for retailers like ourselves.” Commenting on the partner- ship, GLOBALG.A.P. CEO Kris- tian Moeller noted, “Our mission statement is: ‘Every generation has a right to safe food’. That is why we support farmers world-wide in producing safe and sustainable rice and making it available to consum- ers around the world. Rice is one of the world’s most important sta- ple foods, and we are grateful for the trust which SRP has given us to partner with them. Together, we will make a real difference by scal- ing up adoption of SRP verification and consequently the availability of sustainable rice globally.” Matthias Bickel, Director for Food and Agriculture at Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Chair of the SRP Board, said: “SRP is delighted and proud to have found in GLOBALG.A.P. a world-leading assurance service provider for veri- fication. Our long-term partnership will give consumers the opportuni- ty to buy ‘SRP verified rice’, which will contribute to safeguarding the environment, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, save water, and protect natural biodiversity. Small- scale farmers and their communi- ties will benefit from adoption of the SRP Standard in their pursuit of better livelihoods.” Please visit our booth at BLVH-Re- tail Forum, Center Boulevard 48. www.sustainablerice.org www.globalgap.org Shutterstock
